lyrics

Banners wave
The trumpets call
But all that rises, it must fall
A symphony of death we play
Marching onward
We're led astray
No more glory, no more pride
Just the screams of those who died
Cannon fodder, the price of greed
Cannon fodder
The ones who needlessly bleed

Who are we but pawns in play
Echoes of fallen soldiers
Memories don't fade away
The pain is taking over

The stench of iron, the smell of rotting flesh
(It's not an easy thing to digest)

Dead eyes stare back from the mud and rust
This hellish life that we live
Nothing but betrayal, nothing but lies
You are nothing but
Cannon fodder

Who are we but pawns in play
Echoes of fallen soldiers
Memories don't fade away
The pain is taking over
What they've done to me
Will never be forgiven
On the world they set their eyes
Our bodies will pay the price

Marching onward, they pay the price

The stench of iron, the smell of rotting flesh
(It's not an easy thing to digest)

Dead eyes stare back from the mud and rust
This hellish life that we live
Nothing but betrayal, nothing but lies
You are nothing but
You are nothing but
You are nothing but
